  Brooklyn Bridge on the map

  Scene was shot one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States, stretching 5,989 feet over the East River and connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Completed in 1883, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time and the first steel-wire suspension bridge. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and remains an iconic part of the New York City skyline, attracting millions of visitors and serving as a major pedestrian and vehicular crossing.

• Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel (Hugh L. Carey Tunnel)

  In movie

  Scene where the Brooklyn Bridge tollbooth sequence was actually filmed here at the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, since the Brooklyn Bridge had no toll at that time. The production used the tunnel's toll plaza to stand in for the bridge setting, creating the illusion of a toll stop on the bridge itself. This substitution was a practical filmmaking decision driven by the fact that the real Brooklyn Bridge lacked the necessary toll infrastructure for the scene.
